Wednesday's health care rally was one of President Obama's finest hours. It was so fine it couldn't be blighted even by his preposterous backdrop, a cohort of white-jacketed medical workers large enough to staff a hospital in one of the daytime soaps that refused to be pre-empted by the White House show.

Liberals had a blast mocking Sarah Palin last weekend when she was caught addressing the Tea Party Convention with a cheat sheet scrawled on her hand. Even the president's press secretary, Robert Gibbs, couldn't resist getting into the act and treated a White House briefing to a Palin hand gag of his own.

Cynicism is among our most punctual instincts. Within days of the earthquake in Haiti, there came warnings of impending compassion fatigue, wagers of how long it would be before we turned away to the Super Bowl, the Olympics and the Oscars, leaving Haiti to misery.

Five years ago, Lisa Shannon watched "Oprah" and learned about the savage, forgotten war here in eastern Congo, played out in massacres and mass rape. That show transformed Lisa's life, costing her a good business, a beloved fiancé, and a comfortable home in Portland, Ore. -- but giving her a chance to save lives in Congo.

When the Senate Armed Services Committee hears Tuesday morning from the Defense Department's top leaders, we will hopefully begin the task of ending the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military.

Even in these self-restrained pages, it has been impossible to avoid the end-of-the-decade accountings of the 10 best such-and-suches and the 10 worst fill-in-the-blanks.
